“I bought this vehicle in dec. 2017 with 17,000 miles on it, and it now has 30,000 miles on it. On feb 11,12 while driving in akron ohio at around 65 MPH I hit a bump and the front end started shaking so fiercely I could hardly control the truck. My wife was with me and was terrified. If she was driving it she would have never been able to control it and would probably been involved in a horrible and most likely a fatal accident. …”
NHTSA complaint #11180146, filed 2019-02, 30,238 miles“Violent steering wheel wobble and cab vibration when hitting uneven surface driving at highway speeds (55-70mph.) when the wobble occurs, it is impossible to steer and the only remedy is to slow as quickly as possible to around 40mph for the wobble to go away and regain control. The mileage when it started was approximately 40k and has progressively gotten worse. Now with 67k I have actually been forced off the road as I couldn't steer it away from the median. …”
NHTSA complaint #11088632, filed 2018-04, 67,000 miles“2014 Ford f-250 6.7l lariat super duty - 73,000 miles I purchased it about 55,000 miles. 100% stock, no lift or anything like that. It started a shimmer in the front end of the vehicle when going over small bumps in the road going over 55mph. I now get a tremendous shake, ie probably the death wobble and have to slow down to 20mph for it to stop shaking before it takes me off the road. I lose full control until it stops. I rotate my tires with each oil change and always make sure it is properly aligned. …”
NHTSA complaint #11191322, filed 2019-03, 72,500 miles“While driving down the interstate I hit a small bump and the death wobble started. I have taken the truck into a shop and they have had me replace tie rod ends, track bar, and drag link all with no change. I have also balanced rotated and aligned the truck also with no change. I have looked online and have seen many other complaints with others being at a dead end for what to have fixed or looked at next. I am to the point that I am becoming scared to drive the truck at highway speeds. First happened september 2016”
NHTSA complaint #11000315, filed 2017-06, 82,000 miles“My truck at around 15000 miles had some wobble after hitting bumps on highway. I took it in for its 25000 mile check up and stated this as well as poor economy or 1 or so. They said nothing was wrong... Well at 27000 miles it was shaking so violent I demanded it be brought in for service it was going to kill someone! Groove Ford looked it over (who bought it from) and said the entire front end was worn out and was not covered because now it was 40 day past the 3 year. Even thought they told me to wait, and it was 9000miles under the millage!! …”
